Melih Gökçek, the Mayor of Ankara (Turkey) since 1994 is currently being sued after unveiling a 20-foot-tall metal robot in the city.

Taxpayers hit the roof when the Mayor pulled the sheet off his Transformer-like masterpiece, saying it is an enormous waste of their money – and rightly so, as he blew a pretty big budget on it.

The off-the-wall mayor is now being sued by the Turkish Union of Engineers and Architects’ Chambers, who have described the robot as a ‘monstrosity’. After the public backlash, Gökçek simply replied ‘Respect the robot’, which surprisingly only made things worse.

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R) told a radio audience in February that she would soon introduce a bill reforming end-of-life procedures for terminally-ill cancer patients, such as administering baking soda intravenously to “flush out” the cancer “fungus.”

(Aside - I can't believe how many people actually believe this "cancer fungus" thing)

Before her election in 2013, she was CEO of Always There Personal Care of Nevada (which she describes as “in the healthcare industry”).

Double bonus: the accountant is her ex-husband)

An outgoing Tennessee state senator is not going away quietly.

Jim Summerville, a 66-year-old Republican from Dickson, was arrested twice over the weekend over incidents involving his neighbor, police said.

On Friday, police said, Summerville was arrested and charged with stalking neighbor Cecilia Donaven. He was later released on bail.

Summerville, whose term in the Tennessee Senate is up later this year, was arrested again Saturday on assault charges after allegedly leaving jail and threatening Donaven. This time he was released on $10,000 bond on the condition he would stay away from Donaven.

Donaven told WSMV-TV that Summerville has repeatedly harassed her, thrown toilet paper at her home and shined flashlights in her windows and at people coming in and out of her house.

"Every minute I'm in this house, he's watching me," Donaven said. "Every minute, he wants to see what I'm doing."

She called police after Summerville allegedly held a sign facing her house that read, "Just keep it up, you've been warned."

"Every minute, I don't know what I'm coming home to," Donaven added. "I would just like him to live his life on his property and leave me alone. I am very frightened of him."

In a statement, Summerville denied the allegations and said he plans to sue the police department.

"The City of Dickson Police Department is engaging a systematic campaign of harassment," his statement read. "(Stalking! At my age?) Once these charges are resolved in court, I shall be suing the City of Dickson. Settlement negotiations will start at one million dollars."

In August, Summerville lost his bid for re-election in the Republican primary. Last month, he was arrested after several Dickson residents complained the one-term senator was sitting and drinking in their yards.

"Over the past few weeks, we've been receiving several complaints from his neighbors about the harassing and stalking," Lt. Todd Christian told the Tennessean.

Officers were called to the scene "after witnesses said an intoxicated male was walking down the street with a lawn-chair," Christian told the newspaper.

Summerville was booked at the Dickson County jail and released on $2,000 bond. He was also cited for carrying an open container.

Sally McCoy, another neighbor, said the tensions with Summerville began when residents complained that his dogs were wandering the neighborhood.

"Everybody else follows the codes, and he just seems to do what he wants to do," McCoy told WSMV-TV.

~It's not an easy decision. Animal breeding scientists will argue if it is a JiffyPopper or a CrackerJacker. How does a donkey become a mule? Trace the DNA of a '70's strain within the Republican't Party and you may find a viral contagion dangerous to the American citizen population. CrackerJack70 or JiffyPop70. Depends in the 'Y' chromosome infection.~

I am sure I will get tore up over this, but this has been planned for decades and really put into motion when the POS POTUS took office. Keep your guns loaded and ready.

U.S. Homeland Security Department adviser Mohamed Elibiary resigns following tweets about the "inevitable" return of the Caliphate, and "misreading" of 9/11.

Mohamed Elibiary, a controversial senior adviser to the U.S. Homeland Security Department, stepped down Sept. 3 from his position after receiving backlash for a controversial post he made on Twitter in June.

Responding to a question about the Islamic State group, Elibiary wrote, "As I've said b4 inevitable that 'Caliphate' returns."

The tweet was part of a string of posts deemed inappropriate for a senior government advisor, including one where he said he considered the United States to be an "Islamic country" and another where he suggested that those in the national security "uber hawks camp misread 9/11."

After the June tweet, Elibiary was asked if he supported the "inevitable Caliphate," and he responded by saying that the U.S. is moving towards engaging with radical Islamic groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
